"5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even though my son trains at Charles Gracie, JG Academy has welcomed him with open arms every Sunday for training. The coaches and athletes have worked with him, taught him so many new techniques, and helped him grow. The environment is incredible—welcoming, knowledgeable instructors, top-level fighters, and a clean, well-maintained facility. They truly know what they’re doing, and it shows in the way they train. If you’re looking for a great place to train, I highly recommend JG Academy!"
Rodolfo Duran
"We love coming to JG Modesto! The owners used to be in Manteca, where we currently live, but moved to Modesto. Our experience with Kody, Gaby, Domingo, Marcos, and Diana has been top-notch! We’d rather make the drive to train at a gym that is truly family-oriented and dedicated to teaching and working with our child. She feels comfortable, loves the environment, and is always excited to come back. I highly recommend this Jiu-Jitsu gym to anyone looking to get into the sport or for their children—trust me, you won’t regret it!"
Alejandra Alcantar
"I have been taking my son to aspire for about a year now . The coaches are amazing very patient yet they teach him not to give up and to be disciplined. They want to see our kids succeed. This place has been amazing as someone who doesn’t have a lot of physical supper they are like second parents , teaching life lessons , giving confidence , and teaching responsibility. I would highly recommend to bring your child here to teach them so much more than just martial arts. They treat your child like family . Thank you coaches."

"We have been actively involved in the Jiu-Jitsu community for the past eight years. Our children, ages 13, 9, 8, and 6, have been training in the art since they were each 5 years old. When it came time to find a new academy, we explored several options in the area but were left unsatisfied with the level of instruction provided. A friend recommended JG academy - Aspire to Inspire, we attended our first class and immediately recognized the exceptional quality of coaching and instruction. The academy caters to individuals of all ages and skill levels, providing a supportive environment for both children and adults to learn and grow. Professor Marcos and coaches Diana, Gabriela, and Kody are highly knowledgeable and dedicated professionals who ensure that each student comprehends the techniques before progressing to the next level. After watching our children on the mats for the past 8 years, mom and dad finally decided to train, and we owe it all to JG academy. Side note, I'd also like to add, as a mom with 2 daughter's it was extremely important for me to find a gym with women instructors, both Gabriella and Diana have had an incredible and positive impact on my girls. They are successful women (on and off the mat) that serve as role models for young girls, by providing them with examples of what can be achieved with hard work, determination and goal setting. (My boys also get incredible mentoring by Marcos and Kody)"
